Magdalena Kozená's first all-Mozart album--and her first <P>album in collaboration with partner Sir Simon Rattle--stands <P>out as one of the highlights of 2006's Mozart Anniversary <P>celebrations. <P>Magdalena is a natural Mozart singer, garnering rave reviews <P>and enchanting audiences wherever she performs Mozart <P>on stage. Recent performances in Philadelphia, Los Angeles, <P>Berkeley and New York (Carnegie Hall) have brought her <P>glowing praise. <P>This album is a collection of some of Mozart's finest arias <P>for female voice, mostly for mezzo-soprano but Magdalena <P>also taps her soprano potential with arias including Vitellia's <P>"Non più di fiori" from La Clemenza di Tito. <P>Sir Simon Rattle is the ideal conductor for this project, <P>delicately wrapping Magdalena's voice in vivid and sensitive <P>orchestral sounds of the Orchestra of the Age of <P>Enlightenment, the period ensemble with which he has <P>been working for more than a decade. <P>This release features one of the world's most exciting voices <P>joined by a brilliant conductor and ensemble--a Mozart <P>recording poised to captivate music lovers and critics <P>worldwide.
